Which player is actually ‘best’ at guarding Nikola Jokic
For whatever reason before the WCF in 2023, there was a conception that Anthony Davis does very well against Nikola Jokic however that narrative has completely flipped.
I’ve seen Nurkic, Ayton, Draymond and Gobert mentioned before but the facts (stats) seem untrue.
While there might not be a Jokic stopper, is there an actual player that defends Jokic well to the point of keeping him to or below his averages?
Only nuggets and magic fans know it’s wendell Carter for some reason
I’m about 99% sure this was a bait question by a sixers fan lol.
Embiid is 5-2 vs Jokic in his career and Jokic has averaged 21.9/8.9/7.4/1.1/1.1 with 3 turnovers a game against the Sixers on 51/32/84 shooting splits.
The games date back to 2016. If you remove the first game when he only was just starting out his stats actually get worse 21.3/9.2/8/1.3/1.3 and 3.5 turnovers on 48.5/32/85.7 shooting splits.
Commits suicide in bulls fan
I love the Wendaddy love.
He still puts up great numbers, there’s really no stopping him. But Carter does seem to bring his efficiency back down to earth.
